Review Detail

“There are two sides to every story. You may be familiar with one, told through the lens of the goddess who has drawn many of your innocent children into a bloody war. But perhaps you would like to hear the other?"
Ruthless Vows is the much-anticipated sequel to Divine Rivals, a romance fantasy based on a war between two gods. Two reporters are bound to report what they see, drawn by Gods to fight for and be loyal to them. Roman and Iris can communicate with each other through these magical typewriters. Once the letter is slipped under any wardrobe, it is delivered to the other. These two are not without danger, though, as they are tangled up between two Gods, one who wants to rule them all and one who does not. I was drawn into the plot and wholly invested in the outcome of the mortal and the gods.
My heart is at pieces with that ending; the last 100 pages had me way past my bedtime as I had to know how it would all play out. They were intense, action-packed, romantic, full of pain, hugs, and things I can't find words to explain. I wish some character's arcs had a different outcome, but it is what it is.
